Nearly all of that growth is in sub-saharan Africa and Afghanistan. An extinction in Europe is still an extinction.

- jojobas 2y agoEurope won't have fewer people, but there will be an extinction of Europeans. Maybe not in our lifetime but it is now all but inevitable.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoOn a long enough timeline, we're all dead.
- jononor 2y agoIn that future, those will _be_ the Europeans :) While heritage is important, culture is predominantly made up by the living. So if something is important to preserve, pass it on to the next generations (and not just your own children).
- immibis 2y agoWhy do you think there won't be any more people in Europe?
- lazyasciiart 2y agoPresumably Europe is working on robots that can enforce their immigration policies long after the population behind the policies is gone?
- immibis 2y agoTo my knowledge, if there were no people in Europe, there would be nobody to sink the boats full of 500 children - not even robots.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoWhy would that follow? Are you defining robots as people?
- immibis 2y agoGP is
- jojobas 2y agoThere sure will be people. However, there's no arguing that Goths, Picts and Aztecs are extinct.
- pharrington 2y agoAre you confusing culture with the people who have that culture?
- piva00 2y agoGoths aren't extinct, they were from southern Scandinavia and their descendants are Scandinavian people. Aztecs became the Nahua people in Mexico, there are millions of them so not extinct. I'm not well versed in Celtic people but I guess it's the same as the Goths and Aztecs, their descendants live today in Scotland/UK/Ireland/wherever they moved.
